Book Description
The theocratic state of Argacia offers Braya a choice: sacrifice or banishment. But even a repressive regime cannot quell her desire for something more — neither Braya’s nor the two men on whom her destiny depends. *** In the theocratic state of Argacia, where ears listen behind closed doors and the watchful eye of the Sect sees all, Braya Farroe is one of Gaia’s Chosen. Braya can harness the immense energy trapped within sylla crystals. But oftentimes, her power feels less like a blessing and more like a curse. CHOSEN TO KEEP THE DARKNESS AT BAY The Sect Elders have spent years preparing Braya to enter an endless sleep wherein her body will be used as a vessel to extract the syllan flames that fuel Argacia’s forges. But Braya is secretly sceptical about the rhetoric the Sect spews. She wants more than a life of service and solitude. She wants to be free. And when two masked men from the dreaded Mollakai arrive early to perform the sacrificial ceremony, Braya strikes a bargain with an underground resistance movement to escape. However, when she places her faith in the wrong person, someone close to her is captured. NO ONE CAN OUTRUN THEIR DESTINY Grief-stricken and alone, Braya jumps at an offer to save her loved ones, but there’s a catch. She must win the Rite of Radnick, a once-in-a-generation quest to discover a new deposit of sylla. And when she finds herself thrust into a sacred land surrounded by competitors more vicious than the mythical creatures trying to kill her, Braya must discover who is worthy of her trust and her heart. Because once you enter the Rite of Radnick, there are only two choices: RISE OR DIE The Rite of Radnick is the first book in a new adrenaline-fuelled, epic fantasy romance series, perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, The Serpent and the Wings of Night and A Fate Inked in Blood.

Like Salt for Bread. The Jews of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Author: Francine Friedman
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004471057
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 968
Book Description
This book is the only comprehensive treatment in any language of a rather “exotic” Balkan Jewish community. It places the Jewish community of Bosnia and Herzegovina into the context of the Jewish world, but also of the world within which it existed for around five hundred years under various empires and regimes. The Bosnian Jews might have remained a mostly unknown community to the rest of the world had it not played a unique role within the Bosnian Wars of the early 1990s, providing humanitarian aid to its neighbor Serbs, Croats, and Muslims.

Modern Judaism
Author: D. Cohn-Sherbok
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230372465
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Since the post-Enlightenment, Jews have fragmented into a variety of sub-groups, each with their own religious ideology. This book provides a description as well as a critique of these various Jewish religious groups and offers an alternative model of Judaism based on an assessment of the nature of contemporary Jewish life. As will be seen, modern Jews are deeply divided on a wide variety of issues. Given this situation, no uniform pattern of Jewish existence can be imposed from above, nor is it likely to emerge from within the body of Israel. What is required instead is a philosophy of Jewish autonomy which legitimizes Jewish subjectivity and personal decision-making. This philosophy of Judaism - which is referred to in this study as 'Open Judaism' - provides a new foundation for Jewish life as Jews stand on the threshold of the third millennium.

Religious Separation and Political Intolerance in Bosnia-Herzegovina
Author: Mitja Velikonja
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1603447245
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
Mitja Velikonja has written a comprehensive survey that examines how religion has interacted with other aspects of Bosnia-Herzegovina's history. Velikonja sees the former Ottoman borderland as a distinct cultural and religious entity where three major faiths -- Islam, Catholicism, and Orthodoxy -- managed to coexist in relative peace. It is only during the past century that competing nationalisms have led to persecution, ethnic cleansing, and mass murder. Emphasizing the importance of religion to nationalism as a symbol of collective identity that strengthens national identity, Velikonja notes that religious groups have a tendency to become isolated from one another. He believes Bosnia-Herzegovina was unique in its sarlikost, or diversity, because while religion defined ethnic communities there and kept them separate, it did not create a culture of intolerance. Rather than suppressing one another, the region's ethno-religious groups learned to cooperate and mediate their differences -- useful behavior in an area that served as buffer between East and West for most of its history. Velikonja believes that Bosnians went beyond tolerance to embrace synthetic, eclectic religious norms, with each religious group often borrowing customs and rituals from its rivals. Rather than the extreme orthodoxy evident elsewhere in Europe, Bosnia became the home of heterodoxy. Sadly, nationalism changed all that, and the area became the scene of systematic persecution, forced conversion, and mass slaughter. Velikonja considers the misfortunes suffered by the Bosnians during the 1990s as largely the result of actions by their neighbors and local militants and inaction by the international community.But he also sees the tragedy that unfolded as the result of the exploitation of ethno-religious differences and myths by Serbian chauvinists and Croatian nationalists.

Fragile Images

Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
In Fragile Images: Jews and Art in Yugoslavia, 1918-1945, Mirjam Rajner traces the lives and creativity of seven artists of Jewish origin. The artists - Moša Pijade, Daniel Kabiljo, Adolf Weiller, Bora Baruh, Daniel Ozmo, Ivan Rein and Johanna Lutzer - were characterized by multiple and changeable identities: nationalist and universalist, Zionist and Sephardic, communist and cosmopolitan. These fluctuating identities found expression in their art, as did their wartime fate as refugees, camp inmates, partisans and survivors. A wealth of newly-discovered images, diaries and letters highlight this little-known aspect of Jewish life and art in Yugoslavia, illuminating a turbulent era that included integration into a newly-founded country, the catastrophe of the Holocaust, and renewal in its aftermath. interview with the author
